Fun Pattern & Texture
I tried renting this for my rehearsal dinner but the sleeves were super unflattering. I even tried pinning them up so it was more of a sleeveless dress but it just didn't work. It may be better on someone who isn't as broad but for me it just wasn't flattering. The fit was fine and very comfortable

This dress was surprisingly comfortable and had a good amount of stretch to it. With spanx I really liked the shape it gave me, but it just wasn't quite right for the venue and I wasn't a big fan of cap sleeves on the dress.

Cute But Dangerous
I rented this for a Taylor Swift concert and it was super cute! TTS but I ended up having to wear a bra underneath so you wouldn't be able to see my boobs/nipple covers when I raised my arms up. For day to day it's fine, maybe not for dancing or a concert

Fun and different!
This jumpsuit was SO fun & unique. I wore it to a friend's birthday party and had people asking about it all night. I did have to iron the ruffle to get it to stand up but the length was good and I was able to comfortably sit without feeling squished in the crotch.

I rented to wear this at my bachelorette party, but went with something with a little more give. It was super flattering but if you have a belly (like me) you would need spanx. In the pic, I don't have any on. Good length for tall girls

I wish it fit...
This would have been perfect if it wasn't cut so small in the waist. I usually run true to size, but this wouldn't zip the last 2". Also, because I am tall the crotch was dangerously close to being "up my business" (if you know what I'm saying).

Not as flattering in person
I rented this to try and wear it for my rehearsal dinner but it was a major dud. The chest area is REALLY large and gaped open a lot. Also the torso length was too long which is saying something because I am pretty tall at 5'10". Also, the "gold" color wasn't as pretty in person, more yellowish

These pants were fun and a new take on basic black work pants. The higher waist was flattering and the belt was an interesting detail. I had a tough time finding a shirt that looked right with the pants and opted for a basic white T

Awkward fit & arms
I was so excited to rent this and it was a massive let down. It runs large and the sleeves are super strange... they aren't even really attached to the shirt but by a thin string in the armpits. I tried tightening them but nothing made this shirt look good. I probably could have worn a large but I'm afraid it would have been way too short. This size was crazy short, beware if you're tall and prefer longer tops. Cute pattern though

Cute Just Not 4 Me
This dress was very cute but just not for me. The ruffle detail made me look broader than I am and when I tried wearing it without the keyhole top it looked off. I may rent again but it just wasn't that great on me. Would def need spanx if your tummy is a problem area

I love love loved this dress and REALLY didn't want to return it. I wish I had rented the 12 but it wasn't available. I got so many compliments on this dress and it was incredibly flattering. The fabric was a great weight and it looked and felt very expensive.

Fabulous but SHORT
I wanted this dress to work SO badly for an upcoming Cinco de Mayo wedding, but it was just WAY too short. I am tall so I knew it was a pipedream but wowza.... it was short. As the pictures show, the back of the skirt hit right at the bottom of my butt check. There is no way I could have sat down in this dress. It is a slim fit, a true pencil skirt. Sorry tall gals, this isn't your dress... especially if you have curves.

Fun but Sheer
I rented this top to wear to Passover at the fiance's parents' house in Ohio & ended up wearing it again to a theatre performance the next week. it is very cute, but there is a lot going on... The sleeves have a cute ruffle detail but are very bell-sleeved. As the photos show, the bust area is lined but the rest is not. Since I don't have great abs, I opted to wear a cami underneath which I felt took away from the look. Cute top, just not a favorite.

Light and Fun Top
This top was super cute and transitioned well from daytime/work to a theatre event at night. The only annoying thing was that the ties on the side kept coming un-done and wouldn't stay unless tied tight which annoyed me. Also, I have broad shoulders and felt it was a bit narrow.

I am a lover of chambray and embroidery and this top fits the bill. It runs big so I wish I would have sized down. It isn't super long but not too short, I just wished it was slightly longer.

Stunning Showstopper
This dress is EVERYTHING!!! I want to own this and be buried in it. The fabric is luxurious and great for fall or winter, but it is definitley difficult to zip up around the waist and runs a bit small. I got SO many compliments on this dress. I was stuck in a walking boot for the wedding and a lot of people didn't even notice because of this gorgeous dress. Oh and it has pockets... a win all around!

Unique Fun Dress!
This dress is amazing and so unique! The back of the dress is a showstopper but it does make for an awkward fit... I don't have a large chest so I had a lot of extra room up top and had to keep an eye that I didn't "pop out". I got tons of compliments and would definitley rent again.

Gorgeous Dress, Size Up
This dress is absolutely stunning and I wish more than anything that it would have fit.... Like other reviewers have said, it runs REALLY small in the rib/chest area so size up... I thought I would be fine since I don't have a large chest, but I was wrong. I got it zipped but the zipper busted in the back as I was walking out the door... Thank goodness I brought a backup for my backup. I will have to rent this again in a larger size.

Form Fitting Cobalt
I rented this dress but the backup size (12) wasn't available so I had to try on the smaller (10) size. Unfortunately it was WAY too tight and wouldn't even zip... It is VERY form fitting so if you have a belly, make sure you have spanx. One thing I did notice was that the top ruffle did lay very well, nothing like the photo you see. It just went straight across... even if it had fit, I don't think I would have worn.

I rented this for a friend's bachelorette party & it was great! I wore black tights, a leather jacket & black booties to dress it down and everyone was complimenting it all night., The lace detail is SO cute, as is the layered blue material on the skirt. It is pretty short but that worked really well for it being a bachelorette party! I will definitely rent this again!

Fun & Unique Dress!
I rented this for my cousin's wedding in Florida and it was PERFECT! The pattern is super cute and different from anything anyone else was wearing. The strap detail is really interesting, but a bit constricting when it came to dancing... there was a lot of "T-Rex arms" going on but it didn't stop me from busting a move. I could have worn the 10 which would have fit everywhere but the chest, but I wanted to be comfortable all night. For the price ($30) this was a great rental!

Fun, Flirty & Short
I rented this dress in hopes of wearing it for a friend's wedding where she asked us to wear royal purple. While the dress was super cute, it was just WAY to short to be appropriate for a Catholic church wedding. I think on a shorter girl it would be much cuter and I think it made my broad shoulder look even wider. Cute dress, just not for me.

To be fair, I rented this dress in HOPES of it fitting.... it did not. I got the dress in a Medium and out of the bag it looks like it is made for a toddler. While it does stretch quite a bit and I got it to zip, it just wasn't flattering. I definitely needed a Large which wasn't an option.

I wore this dress for a friend's wedding where she asked her house party to wear dark purple. The dress fit great & had some stretch which was nice. As a lover of Spanx, I had to keep an eye on the slit and make sure they weren't showing but I think the extra "support" made the dress look even better! Loved this dress & wish I could own it!

Fab Gatsby Wedding Dress!
This dress is the most beautiful royal purple color with black/silver/pewter accents. I wore this for a 'Great Gatsby' black tie wedding and it was a big hit. Be forewarned that it is VERY low cut so I wouldn't suggest it for large busted ladies. I have a pretty small bust and since I couldn't wear a bra with it, I wore sticky boobs & fashion tape to keep everything in place. I would love to rent this dress again but may try to find an easier solution to keeping it put throughout the night.

Gorgeous dress but not quite right
This is definitely a gorgeous dress but there were a couple things that held me back from actually wearing it to the wedding I was attending. 1) There is an extremely high slit in the dress and it wasn't really wedding appropriate, when I sat down the slit came up to my UPPER UPPER thigh 2) The belt that was sent with the dress was a size smaller than the dress I rented making it SUPER tight and impossible to keep on if you wanted to breath Overall, it was a gorgeous dress and I would have loved to wear it if I could change those two things

Most Gorgeous Dress I've Worn
I lucked out getting a free rental from RTR and chose this gorgeous dress. The photos of this dress don't begin to do it justice. The ribbon detail is incredible and gives you a great shape. I was worried the size 10 wouldn't fit since Temperley London tends to run small but it fit SO well. I was able to dance all night & not worry about a thing. Everyone kept complimenting me on my dress, asking where I bought it, etc... It really made the night special. Now I just wish I could keep the dress or afford to actually buy it. I am officially obsessed!

Gorgeous Lace & Color
The color of this dress is beautiful and the lace is the perfect feminine detail. I didn't end up wearing the dress to the wedding (it was my back up) but it looked great on. I was worried the 3/4 length sleeve and lace would look matronly but they didn't at all.

Fab Color & Fab Fit!
This dress is much prettier in person and the detail is fabulous. I rented this for my friend's rehearsal dinner and I got so many compliments on it. The fit was great but the belt/sash is definitely necessary to help define your waist. My only "complaint" was the length of the dress. I usually don't wear anything super short (especially to wedding events), but the dress was shorter than I expected it to be but definitely not too short. Since the wedding was in January, I paired the dress with black tights and it worked out perfectly.
